[Bug] Coqui-ai TTS in Jenkins job key = winreg.OpenKey( ... FileNotFoundError

[LeszekChojnacki]

Describe the bug

Trying to use Coqui-ai TTS in Jenkins job, and Im getting below err:

C:\ProgramData\Jenkins\.jenkins\workspace\Dziennik\scripts>python tts.py --input_text_file_path DU/2025/658 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\ProgramData\Jenkins\.jenkins\workspace\Dziennik\scripts\tts.py", line 34, in <module> api = TTS(model_name="tts_models/pl/mai_female/vits") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\Ja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\TTS\api.py", line 64, in __init__ self.manager = ModelManager(models_file=self.get_models_file_path(), progress_bar=progress_bar, verbose=False) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\Ja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\TTS\utils\manage.py", line 51, in __init__ self.output_prefix = get_user_data_dir("tts") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\Ja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\TTS\utils\generic_utils.py", line 139, in get_user_data_dir key = winreg.OpenKey( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Nie mo�na odnale�� okre�lonego pliku

This is the code which i use:

`from TTS.api import TTS
import torch
import io
import argparse

arg parser

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--input_text_file_path', dest='input_text_file_path',
type=str, help='Add input_text_file_path')
args = parser.parse_args()

Save the original torch.load function

_original_torch_load = torch.load

Define a new function that forces weights_only=False

def custom_torch_load(*args, **kwargs):
if "weights_only" not in kwargs:
kwargs["weights_only"] = False
return _original_torch_load(*args, **kwargs)

Override torch.load globally

torch.load = custom_torch_load

def import_text_file(file_name):
with io.open(f"{file_name}.txt", 'r', encoding="utf-8") as file:
return file.read().replace('\n', '')

TTS with on the fly voice conversion

api = TTS(model_name="tts_models/pl/mai_female/vits")
api.tts_to_file(
text=import_text_file(args.input_text_file_path.replace('/', '')),
speaker_wav="target/speaker.wav",
file_path=f"{args.input_text_file_path.replace('/', '')}.wav"
)`

At the same time the code is working normally when i trigger it from the cmd, just when i use jenkins the issue show up.

Not able to find any proper workaround for this.

Can you try with our fork (available via pip install coqui-tts)? This repo is not maintained anymore. In the fork you also don't need to overwrite torch.load(), it is already fixed there.

@eginhard thanks for your feedback, after testing can see that that im getting the same err. I have complitly delted the py from my local machin and recreated the whole stack with your fork, and still getting the same err.

This is the methond which is triggering the err:

def get_user_data_dir(appname: str) -> Path: TTS_HOME = os.environ.get("TTS_HOME") XDG_DATA_HOME = os.environ.get("XDG_DATA_HOME") if TTS_HOME is not None: ans = Path(TTS_HOME).expanduser().resolve(strict=False) elif XDG_DATA_HOME is not None: ans = Path(XDG_DATA_HOME).expanduser().resolve(strict=False) elif sys.platform == "win32": import winreg # pylint: disable=import-outside-toplevel key = winreg.OpenKey( winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" ) dir_, _ = winreg.QueryValueEx(key, "Local AppData") ans = Path(dir_).resolve(strict=False) elif sys.platform == "darwin": ans = Path("~/Library/Application Support/").expanduser() else: ans = Path.home().joinpath(".local/share") return ans.joinpath(appname)

So I have change this check elif sys.platform == "win32" to elif sys.platform == "win32.", and the code skips the problematic place and works

I know this is a super dirty solution but I was not able to find a better solution.

Ok, thanks for checking! I'm not familiar with Windows or Jenkins, so no idea why this occurs unfortunately.

As a cleaner workaround that does not require patching any code, I'd recommend to manually set the TTS_HOME or XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable with the folder where you want to store your Coqui models (see https://coqui-tts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-does-coqui-store-downloaded-models). When either of these is set, the other branches in that if-statement will be skipped, avoiding the error.
